Wood is oneof the major building materials
used by humans throughout our existence.
8.
Wood has outstandingphysical
characteristics which include both
physical strength and resiliency.
9.
Wood has inherentaesthetic beauty and
very desirable working properties...
• Wood consistingof small cells.
• Cambium layers that extend concentrically
near the bark divide into wood in inner part
and into bark on the outer surface.
• Wood creates a large amount of big and
thin – wall cells during the wet and warm
spring-summer season, and small and thick
– wall cells during the fall.
• The former cells from light colored wood
called early wood, while the latter forms
dark colored wood called the late wood.
14.
• The combinationof early wood and late
wood is called annual ring in the case
that growth cycle is one year.
15.
• The formeris called
sap wood that
contains starch and
many nutritious
substances.
• The latter is
heartwood which is
consists of
substances that is
insusceptible to the
attacks by insects and
germs, therefore has
high level of durability.
•The part closer to the
bark is light colored and
contains live cells, while
the inner part is made of
accumulated dead cells
and appears in color
unique to the wood.
16.
• A boardcut from a tree
trunk by tangential
section, with a section
line running in direction
that touches arcs of
annual rings, has flat
grain, while a board cut
by radial section with
a section line running
in a direction that
crosses vertically the
annual rings, has
edge grain.
17.
SOFTWOOD
• Needle –shape leaves
• Used for the structural
materials of architectures.
• Pine, Hemlock, Fir, Redwood,
Spruce, Cedar
HARDWOOD
• Broad leaves
• Used for furniture or
interior material.
• Mahogany, Walnut, Oak,
Maple, Cherry Rosewood,
Teak
• Wood shrinkswhen it discharges water and dries,
or swell when it absorbs water.
• This property relates to the amount of water
contained inside the cell wall of the wood, in other
words, the moisture content.
• Wood changes its shape in the drying process
according to place of origin and in the shape of the
wood.
• In order to avoid trouble, hardwood for home
furniture should be dried until the water content
becomes less than 6 – 12%, softwood for
architecture process should be dried until the
water content becomes less than 20%.
Strength
• Strength posedon wood is received by its wall.
• Thickness of cell wall varies from species, and the
thicker the cell wall is, the higher specific gravity the
wood would possess.
• Therefore, wood with higher specific gravity has greater
strength and harder surface.
• The level of strength is significantly different within the
same wood, depending on the direction of the cell layout.
• Bending strength reaches to the highest level when
load is applied in a direction parallel to the fiber;
however, the strength is significantly reduced as the
angle of load direction against the fiber direction
becomes larger.
23.
Distortion
• When woodis treated with heat by applying
hot steam, substances called lignin that
adhere each wood cell softened and create
gap between cells.
• This makes the wood easily distorted.
• If the wood is cooled and dried after it is
distorted, the distortion is fixed or permanent
and cannot be reversed to the original state.
• This property is used in making bent wood
products.
Methods and ormanner of log sawing:
A. Plain or bastard sawing
- cutting the logs entirely through the
diameter a parallel cord tangential to the
annual rings.
B. Quarter or Rift Sawing
- divided into four methods; radial methods,
tangential method, quarter tangential, and
combined radial and tangential.
27.
Seasoning of lumber
Naturalor Air Seasoning
- considered as one of the best methods in
seasoning lumber although the period
involved is longer than the artificial method.
Artificial Seasoning
- method adopted for quick drying of the
wood such as forced air drying, kiln drying
and radio frequency dielectric drying.
28.
Lumber and otherrelated products:
1. Veneer and plywood
- are made of 3, 4, 7 or more veneer
slice that are laid upon the other with the
grain of each at right angle to those of the
sheets above or below.
a. Soft Plywood – most common for structural use.
b. Hardwood Plywood – used for paneling and finishing
where usually only one face is with hardwood finish.
c. Exterior or marine plywood – is made for external use.
29.
2. Hardboard/Pressed woodor fiber board
- is made from woodchips which are exploded into
fibers with high pressure steam.
3. Particle Boards
- manufactured from wood chips, curls, fibers, flakes,
strands, shaving slivers which are bound together
and pressed into sheets and other molded shapes.
4. Laminated Wood
- processed by sawmilling and drying, knot and
cracks are removed, and the pieces are connected by
finger joints in fiber direction to create a wide and
long materials.
Checks – isa lengthwise
separation of the wood like
small crack or split
Split/Shake – is a
lengthwise break or big
crack in the board.
Knot – is a branch or limb of
a tree that has been
exposed as the log is cut
into lumber.
Decay – is the rotting of
wood
Wane – is lack of wood on
the face of the piece.
32.
Warp – isany variation
from a tree or plane
surface. It includes
crack, bow, cup, twist,
or nay combination of
this.
Stain – is a discoloration
of the wood surface.
Lumbers are soldaccording to
their dimensions where thickness
and width are measured in inches
and the length is measured in feet.
35.
Prices of lumbersold are based on a
unit called BOARD FOOT which
means a piece of wood 12 inches
long, 12 inches wide and 1 inch
thick (12” x 12” x 1’)
36.
To compute thetotal board feet in a
piece of lumber use the formula”
T”xW”xL’
12
Where: T” = thickness in inch
W” = width in inch
L’ = length in feet
12 = constant
37.
Example:
Find the totalboard foot of 5 pieces of
2”x10”x14’ lumber.
Solution:
Bd. ft. = 7pcsx2x10x14
12
= 70 bd. ft.
* Lumber is sold either rough or
surfaced.
38.
Prices of lumberranges
according to the following:
1.Types of wood
2.Dimensions
3.Grades of lumber – either
sun dried, air dried, or kiln
dried
39.
Woodworking Methods
1. Planning
a)Drawing and designing the project
b) Identify bill of materials
c) List the procedures
d) List tools and machines needed
2. Cutting – cutting wood to the right
size and shape can be done with a
variety of hand tools and machines.
40.
3. Assembling –constructing the parts
of the project based on the planned
design.
4. Sanding and Finishing – sanding
removes tools marks and make wood
surface smooth for finishing. Sanding
should not begin until the wood has
been cut to its final size.
41.
Sawing
• Different typesof saws must be used
when you cut along the fiber direction
and when you cut across or
perpendicular or at an angle to the fiber
direction of the wood
• A rip saw is used to cut along the fiber
of the wood while cross cut saw is used
to cut across or perpendicular or at an
angle to the fiber of the wood.
42.
• When sawingalong the cutting lines,
make sure that your head is right above
or on the extension line from the saw
blade so that you can cut straight, with
the top surface and cutting surface of the
wood forms the right angle.
• When starting to cut, guide the saw blade
with your thumb and make a small chase.
• When finishing cutting, move the saw
slowly in the horizontal direction and
support the removing piece of wood at
the same time to avoid splitting.
43.
Driving and PullingNails
• Hold the nail firmly near the pointed end with one
hand while grasping the hammer handle.
• Tap the nail lightly to start, then push down the nail
by hitting the head squarely.
• With some materials especially hardwood and
moldings, you’ll have to drill pilot holes before
driving the nails to avoid splitting.
• When removing or pulling deformed or bent nails,
place a block of wood under the hammer to prevent
or protect the wood surface from being scratched as
nails are pulled.
